St Francis Minor Seminary - Via Yearbook (Milwaukee, WI)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1927 volume:

g- EHanmnrh W Q7ms is the second issue of the annual published by the High School department of Saint Fran- cis Seminary. The prime function of this vol- ume is the same as that of its predecessoreto serve as a memento of best efforts at literary achievement. The secondary purpose is to re- call the faces and haunts and activities of our Seminary life. The name of the publication has been changed from ti SEM-HI-ANn t0 HTIERCE.H The latter title, besides being less prosaic than the other, is more significant. TIERCE means third; and with the close of this year our class finishes a third of its course leading to the priesthood. Then, too, the title of this little souvenir con- notes the divine office toward Which we trust our vocation lies. We take pleasure in presenting to our be- loved faculty, fellow students, and friends, this little token of the scholastic year. Page Two If IW ,7 x X N u M M .

He chooses someone who hasipkl'ecede'a him in his particular field, one who has had great success, and who is worthy of emulation. Then he studies the life and characteristics of his ideal, to see what he can learn from them. We who are studying for the priesthood have had an excellent example very close to us. Although he has passed from us to his eternal reward, we shall always clearly remember his venerable and saintly appearance and life. He taught us by his example, the very best mode of teaching. Therefore, to the memory of Monsignor Rainer, our saintly model, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-seven, dedicate this Annual. We realize that we cannot pay the debt of gratitude we owe to him, but we offer just a slight token of our appreciation.

There, if he was not already instructed in the art of serving at Benediction, he was so in- structed. After this little class the Monsignor told the server about his patron saint, and pre- sented him with a holy card of Saint Theresa. -ADRIAN TROST. wE- G'G 33W333333 Page Eight :5: m: l 9 2 7 j:Q9chTcs-esca-e-eg-cs-ess :9 Gable nf Olnntmtz $ FOREWORD DEDICATION ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, FACULTY PREFECTS ORDINATI SENIORS ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, EDITORIAL STAFF ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, LITERATURE 27 GEMS FROM UNDERCLASSMEN ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 67 C7 CHRONICLE SOCIETY NEWS 7... 78 ALUMNI 7777777777777777777777777777777 81 ATHLETICS ............................... 89 HUMOR ADVERTISING ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 97 esa-Eo-a-s-zo-s-zo-zo wsggig 1 If RC ams-oz-cz-cz-cz-cz-e-ea-e-cz-c Owing tO' delay in obtaining photographs of some of the faculty members. we were obliged to leave too much to the judgment of our printer, with the result that we must acknowledge the following ERRATA: To the faculty list should be added he names of Iev.

We started with thirty-nine members of various ages and sizes. At first it seemed queer to be in such a large house with so many strangers. Many of us were homesick, but after awhile we became accustomed to Seminary life. Some of us startled our pre- fects by answering, Yes, Father, or th0, Father, to their questions. We soon became acquainted with one another and also with the Sophomores, who were our companions in the study hall. A few days after our arrival we elected our class officers. Alphonse Kohler was elected prese ident, and Edmund Stumpf, secretary. After this we fell right into line with the other classes in studies and all Seminary activities. There are many things which we remember with fond recollection when we look back upon our first year at the Seminary. The first great event was the retreat given by Father Thuente, O. P. Most of us had never made a retreat be- fore, and we all agreed that it gave us a good start on the way to the priesthood. Being the youngest class in the house, we were naturally handicapped in athletics, but those who took part in the Upper Hall Indoor League gave evidence of becoming good sportsmen, which they have since proved themselves to be. As long as we live we shall never forget the evening of Decem- her the eighth, when we were received into the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin by Monsignor Rainer, Sylvester Klein and Maurice McNamee were selected as acolytes of the Sodality. The first member of our class to fall a victim to serious illness was William Drewa, who went home on December twelfth. We lost three more classmates during January, Casimir Piatkiewcz, Edward Sheehan and Ralph Thiinmesch. John Schneider took sick and went home on February twenty-seeond. On March twenty-sixth Father Huepper organized six teams in our Latin class, to compete for the highest average in scholarship for second semester. This inspired us with zeal and interest in our work and developed the spirit of study in us. In this way our first year at the Seminary came to a close, and we went home with happy hearts, having completed our first step towards the priesthood. When we returned on September ninth, 1924, we discovered that quite a change had taken place in our class. Seventeen new members had been added to our number, and Joseph Kelley and Leo Wolf had not returned. This made us the largest class in the house, with a total of fifty-two mem- bers. It seemed good to see our old friends again, and we soon became acquainted with our new classmates. Francis Kehlnhofer was elected to be our class president. We were rather disappointed when we heard that our class was to be divided into two sections for Latin and Algebra, but we proved that the maxim, ttUnited we stand, di- vided we fall, does not apply to all cases. On December third the first dark cloud passed over our class. Vernon Banres, who had just come to our class from Pio Nono, died after a two weekst illness. A Requiem Mass was sung in the Seminary chapel for the repose of his soul before his body was taken home. Because of our exceptionally large class it was necessary to hold two elocution contests for Sece 0nd Class this year. In the. first contest Fred Zauner won first place, and Anthony Zukitis, sec- ond. In the second contest, Joseph Stagl won first place and John Aspel, second. Onr baseball team made an exceptionally fine showing this year. We were tied with Fourth class for first place in the High School Department League. With this success to our credit, we con- cluded our second year at the Seminary. We returned to the Seminary for the third time on September ninth, 1925. Again we found that our class was the largest one in the house, having fifty-three members. Two former mem- bers, Robert Connor and Leland Schaller, did not return. This is the year to which we had been looking forward with great eagerness because it was to mark our promotion to the lower study hall. Much to our dismay, however, it was found necessary to put thirteen of us in the upper study hall, because our class was so large. Thus the fraternity known as the tiUnlueky Thirteen was formed. Even with this separation we remained one in spirit. Joseph Stagl was elected class president for this year. , Columbus Day, 1925, will always be remem- bered by our class as the turning point in our athletic career. On this day we defeated Fourth class in football, 13 to 0. On November first we again defeated them with a score of 7 to 0. We lost two members of our class after Christ- mas vacation.

Foremost among the activities in which our class engaged during the second semester was the Douglas-Egan Eloeution Contest. We had five representatives in the contest, and we won both first and second place. Fred Zauner won first place and Joseph Stagl second. This was the first time that the undergraduate class had won both places. On Tuesday of Holy Week our class presented Monsignor Hugh Bensonis drama of the Passion, ttThe Upper Room. During base- ball season our class made a fine showing. We won the championship of the High School depart- ment, winning three out of five games. On June tenth, the day before we went home for our sums mer vacation, we elected the members of the staff of the High School annual for the coming year. In this way we concluded our third year and went home, looking forward to the coming year, when we would return as Seniors 0f the High School. We began our fourth year on September eighth, 1926. Fred Zziunei- was elected class president, ear? 9' Q V 5.. and Russel Beix and Vernon Laird were elected president and secretary of the Athletic Associa- tion respectively. Eight of our classmates did not return to complete their High School course: Ernest Breitenbach, Victor Cork, Florian Merbs, Bernard Minerath, Clement Morgan, Harold New- comb, Eugene Spohn, and Adrian Strasser. The activities of this year will ever remain fixed in our minds. This book, our annual HTierce, is for the most part a record of them. Therefore the details of the past nine months will be omitted. It hardly seems possible that we have been here four years. When we were Fresh- men, twelve years seemed a very long time, but now that one-third of our course is completed, we are surprised to see how quickly the time has passed. There may have been times when we felt discouraged and downeast, but now that we are :Llnout to graduate, we look back with fond re- membrance upon those days and exhort those who will come after us to remain steadfast in their hol CWllill '. y t g eEDMUND STUMPF. rsc-aa-s-s-sgo' L l Page Twenty-m'ne f m N yszo-zo-saa-g-s-s-EOSEOQXGI EEC E :X me-a-e-E-e-e-eoz-cz-e-cac $rati1m Agimua E THANK Thee, Lord, for all these gifts of Thine, Which Thou in mercy hast bestowed on men, To bring us back to love and peace again, When we have strayed so far from love divine, And from Thy grace,-which always is a sign, That we whom Thou dost love, have often been Unworthy of Thy love and blessings, when Such acts as these within us we confine.

Zliamiliar 71555311; 311 Almaga igaga T WAS Saturday evening. We were expecting gcompany. Our cousin, whom I had never seen, planned to visit us. The letter did not tell us which train to meet. Everyone was busy about his work. There was nothing for me to do, so I looked on. This did not last long, however; soon Mother called me. She told me to go down town, for there was need of two bulbs in the floor lamp. It was rather dark for this time of ex'ening. When I reached the our line, one block away. a mist began to fall. The car was rather crowded, and I was the last to get a seat. I left with the hope that I could get a less crowded car home. When I again boarded a car there were two empty seats, but they were soon occupied. By the next stop there were several standing in the aisle. I remarked to myself how close the air was, and was glad at least that I had a seat. I soon dismissed this proposition from my mind. A young lady was standing in front of me. Thinkng it my place to give her a seat, I did so. The car reached Madison Street. I was glad to get off. I hurried home, for by now the mist had turned into a drizzle. Mother had me put in the bulbs right away. While I was doing this, some- one rapped. Mother opened the door, and who do you think was there? Our cousin, the person to whom I had given my seat.

Perhaps it is because the composer is so anxious to receive his friendls nod or sign of disapproval that he does not care how it gets there, just so it does. Perhaps the first person that receives this wicked piece of paper is an industrious Latin essayist, who is wondering why some certain verb should take the accusative with the infinitive and the rest give as much trouble as they can. Sud- ' denly something comes flying through the air and lands on his desk. Seeing that it is a note, he picks it up and reads the name. After doing this, he gives the composer a glance which any man in his right mind would hardly consider a look of thankfulness. Nevertheless, the note is passed to the next man, after a short delay. This fellow picks it up and looks at it. He sees that it is going to So-and-so. Immediately his curiosity is aroused. He attempts to find out who sent it, and why. After he has learned all he can about the note, he tosses it to his next neighbor, perhaps saying something about it. ' This new fellow, having become used to the oth- ers ways, hears him say something. He nods, per- haps not having the least idea of what was said. He then picks up the note, reads the name, and throws it to his next neighbor. One watching this performance would hardly consider his aim per- fect, for the note, which is meant to drop on his neighbors desk, does not stop until it has landed five feet or so to the other side of its mark. After some exaggerated whispering, he finally reaches the ears of his neighbor and explains the error. The note, after a lengthy minute, reaches the one to whom it was sent; but the fellows who served as a pony express are in an entirely dif- ferent state of mind than before the note was sent. When the receiver opens the note, he prob- ably finds that his friend is desirous of knowing whether he is hungry or not, or some other trivial question hardly worth the trouble it causes. eVERNON LAIRD. when Earlier Giallvh H WHAT a beautiful morning! thought I when I awoke one day last June with the sun just creeping over the eastern woods. I dressed, said my morning prayers, and was soon out 'in the field cultivating my assigned piece of corn. It was nearly half a mile from home. The birds were singing gayly, and the flies bit the horses terribly, which always is a good pre- diction of a refreshing rain. I was as gay as the birds and was whistling an old tune when I heard a noise. I paid little attention to it and kept on cultivating. I soon knew what that noise was, for the northwest had become as black' as coal. I knew that we should have a terrible thunder shower, but I kept on cultivating, thinking that the clouds would not come fast. I turned around to cultivate another row, at the end of which I should be another quar- ter mile farther away from home. When I reached the end I realized that I could not get home, but I thought I should try it. In- stead of cultivating, I slapped the line on the'i young horse, which knew that now it had to go in a hurry. The horses, going at a good trot through the rows, broke off many stalks, and I slacked up. I came to the end and, opening the gate, drove through it and.shut it. I was still a half mile from home when it started to rain and hail. It being impossible to hold the horses in a hail, I turned under a big maple tree not far from the buildings. Here they stood quiet to protect themselves from the storm. Now, my father happened to look out from the window of the house in order to see where I was. He saw me, and before I knew it he was beside me, telling me to let the horses stand and get protec- tion under a building. He started for the build- ing, but I lingered awhile, thinking it would stop I3 a '3'3-3-3-3-3'3 3-302: l9 2? jW-e-E-ee-e-ee- G45 araa-sss-sq; Page Thirty-one f x. ?39-3-3-3-3-3-3-3i33d61 ERCEEje-cacz-e-cz-cz-cae-a-e-ca-c hailing. My father was in the building; as he turned around he saw me still under the tree, which was now nearly stripped by the hail. He called me to come to the building, and this I did, leaving the horses stand alone. When I reached the building, puffing on account of run- ning and being scared, I was wet and bruised from the rain and hailstones. While talking to my father and complaining that those hours of culti- vating were for nothing, I happened to glance at the team, which was standing as quiet as lambs. Just as I glanced that way, a lightning bolt struck the tree, killed the horses and tore t0 splinters the wood on the cultivator. I, standing next to my father, turned white as a sheet. I was glad that I had heeded his call. ARNOLD KUENNEN. A 1mm in the 71515111: hills Do not know of anything so enjoyable and 4 salubrious as a visit to the Black Hills. Here God silently jested with Nature, and endowed it with the most lovable and picturesque forms that the human mind can imagine. They are called ttBlack Hills because they are covered with pine trees which look dark from a distance. Last summer my brother and I paid a visit to this scenic place. We reached Lead, our des- tination, in the morning. After breakfast we hired an Indian guide, and set out for the mouir tains with about three daysi provisions. When we were still in the outskirts of Lead we could already see the majestic peaks hold on high their lofty pinnacles.- Before we started to climb one of the mountains, we crossed a small river. The scenery here reminded me of the famous Hudson and the Catskills, which Irving so beautifully describes in his HRip Van Wily kle. Already the morning haze was beginning to rise as if the mighty hills were offering in- cense to their Omnipotent Creator. As we fol- lowed our guide through the hours of the day, we caught glimpses of one beautiful picture after another. At last we reached the summit of Harney Peak, the highest elevation of the Black Hills. Much of the view from the top of this peak, which projects about twenty-nine hundred feet above the lower plains, is hopelessly indescribable. Far away, cattle may be seen grazing on levels of green, while here and there distant dots in ruffled squares indicate the abodes of sturdy homestead- ers. Close by, all is quiet. The very songbirds seem to respect the solitude. Only an occasional eagle screams out a word of curiosity or defiance as he sails majestically across the projecting points and fathomless pits. The sharp eye may pos- sibly discern a remnant flock of mountain sheep quickly and quietly steal to cover among the in- tricate recesses of crumbling preeipiees. Magnificent ruins of a great silent city seem delicately painted in all shades imaginable. Spires, domes, and towers decorate gorgeous edi- fices, the art of which was little dreamed of by the architects and painters of old. At first comes a feeling of the absurd or grotesque; but, study- ing more closely the meaning of every feature, the spirit of this wondrous handiwork of the Great Creator permeates the beholder, and Vistas of unique loveliness materialize. One leaves this beautiful place with as much reluctance 11s a little boy 01' girl leaves vaca- tion days behind, and responds to the first call of the school bell when the new term is com- mencing. That evening in camp, when all nature had gone to rest and darkness had softly and silently enfolded the monster hills, our Indian guide told us stories. He told us that these hills had once been the playground, hunting ground, and home of his ancestors. He told us of how the white man had dispossessed them of their paradise. He talked in such a pathetic tone that I felt pity for the Indians, and a bitter guilt for my progenitors who had robbed them. Three days later we were again in Lead, wait- ing for an eastbound train. We had indeed vis- ited the fairyland 0f the middle west. I shall ever cherish the happy memory of that excursion trip, and I would advise the people of the great central west not only to say, tt See America First, but to make it more specific and say, HSee the Black Hills First. wHENRY KOLBECK.

Qe-e-e-e-cz-czetae-a-e-e-c making at 1am nf Svkiz HE most important thing in making a pair of C'7skis is the kind of wood one uses. On ask- ing my father about it, I was told that ash and hickory are the best, and that yellow pine is often used. So, after procuring two pieces of well dried hickory, about seven feet long and four inches wide, I proceeded to thin them. In doing this I took special care to make the middle, where the foot rests, about an inch thicker, tapering to five- sixteenths of an inch at the ends. This I did with the aid of a drawshave, a plane, and some coarse sandpaper. Having steamed the front ends in a wash boiler nearly full of water, I bent them over a flywheel, which I had fastened to the floor for that purv pose. Then, tying the other ends to the floor with some strong cord, I left them there to dry out. Returning two days later, I found them prac- tically dry. Loosening the cords I saw they were bent better than I thought they would be. The only things still to be done were to put a groove into the bottom of each one, to keep them from sliding sidewise, and to fix a strap in the middle of each one for my feet. I was at a loss how to put the grooves in until my father told me to use the rabbit plane, a tool used by carpenters to gouge out moulding. With the aid of this plane I soon finished the grooves, which were to be not over a quarter of an inch deep. Then I found a few old straps in the shed. After fastening them onto the skis, I was ready for a trial. eALPHONSE KOHLER. 6le Ellimt 1mm of S71. Nirhnlaa HEN Christmas draws near, we often recall events which occurred during the holiday sea- sons of former years. They may have happened a few years ago or they may date back to our child- hood days, but there are always some incidents which have made such a deep impression on us that we can readily recall them. I was only a few years old when I accom- panied my parents, on the eve of St. Nicholas, to call on my grandparents. I had been told that t'St. Nicholas would come that evening to bring nuts and candy, and this filled me with eagerness for his arrival. I had seen pictures of him, and there was just one thing that made me feel uneasy ettSt. Nicholas carried a stick with him. How- ever, everybody assured me that he would not use it on me. My grandfather then told me of a plan to get all the nuts and candy ttSt. Nicholas would have in his bag. As soon as he would enter the room, my grandfather was to go up to him and hold him, while I should grab the bag of nuts and candy and run off with it. This plan seemed feas- ible, and I readily agreed to it. Other things drew my attention, and I had almost forgotten the expected visitor when a thumping in the kitchen announced the arrival of ttSt. Nicholas. As he entered the living room, where we had all gathered, my courage began to wane. This tall, strange man did not impress me as being one who would bring presents to children; besides, I noticed that he had an extremely long stick. My grandfather went up to him, but I refused to follow. Suddenly there was a short scuffle, and my grandfather was lying on the floor beside the bag of candy. My fear now changed to terror, and with a loud cry I ran to my par ents for protection, while St. Nicholas hurried away in the opposite direction. It was some time before I felt safe again, and the candy did not taste so good after all this trouble. After that, whenever St. Nicholas was mentioned, I doubted the kindness of this nocturnal visitor. -RAYM0ND FETTERER. 16927422934. .. . 35-3-99 s-soQ Page Thirty-three L f N azazo-Eo-aa-Eo-zo-za-za-g-Eagfg T 1ERCE SQ. jGE-GE-GE-E-E-G-GE-G-G'CE-C Eh? GDthr nf igvlppra of 1112 311111;; $111115 RELIGIOUS order consecrated to one particu- lar intention focuses, as it were, light and warmth upon its one real aim. Hence it is that the Order of Helpers 0f the Holy Souls is bene- ficial not only to the souls in purgatory, but to the living. It brings before the mind of every Christian the real horror and torments of purgaa tory. It teaches us by its perpetual prayer and good works that one must not only think of him- self, but of others as well. The order was founded by a French girl by the name of Eugenie Semet. It seemed, from her youth, that the world smiled upon this young lady. It is said of her that one day, while yet a small child, as she was bounding about catching butter- flies with her companions, she suddenly stood still. She asked them if they knew of what she was thinking. She then asked them what they would do if one of their companions were shut in a fiery prison and if, by saying a few words, they could let her out. Would they not be sure to do it? She then told them of the poor souls. So, we are able to see the devotion and zeal this young founder had for them. In my estimation, the aim of this order is an ideal one. With the founding of this order was awakened in every Catholic a spirit that spurred him on to help his neighbor suffering in purga- tory. .Even now, when this order is spoken of, many people ttsit up and take notice, so to say. It seems to help strengthen the relation which the people on earth have with the souls in heaven and in purgatory. 'I think an order such as this should prosper in its work here on earth. Everyone, in some lit- tle way, ought to respect the persons who have left this world and consecrated themselves to the poor souls. Although it is impossible for us to join such an order, it is well for us to offer up our prayers, works, and sufferings for this purpose. e-RUSSELL BEIX. mg Glhnam Huratinn VERYONE who wishes to find success and true happiness in this world must follow his voca- tion. This means that he must adhere to that in- ward inclination which spurs him on toward the goal he expects to reach one day. My vocation seems to be the priesthood, the highest state to which one can aspire. In this calling, through the right kind of a priest, untold good can be accomplished. Through his good advice and wonderful pardoning power, the priest saves innumerable souls for God. 'He alone can offer that unbloody Sacrifice, which is so pleasing to our Savior, namely, the Sacrifice of Mass. As he is called Father and Pastor, he must live true to his name and be the Father and Pastor of his flock. I have not chosen this vocation for the dollar consideration, for everyone knows that a priest receives only enough salary to give him the neces- saries of life. The remuneration for his work is that which he receives in the next world. For success in this vocation, an aspirant must possess a good moral character, fairly good health, and ability to cope with his studies. A good edu- cation is very necessary for a priest; therefore many sominaries are established throughout the world, where the student for the priesthood re- ceives the best education obtainable. He is taught by pmfessorw who are 'nriests themselves; conse- quently, the tuition is much lower than that at secular colleges. For a young student to get along well in a seminary where a great number live as one family, he must act as a brother to each one of his com- panions. His habits and speech must be above re- proach so that he may not scandalize his neighbor and school. It is often by this fault that many vocations are lost. Of course, I realize that there are many sac- rifices to be made before one can become a priest. One must leave home and the world, and put in twelve long yearsiof study. Yet the thought of being an ttAlter Christus acts as an incentive to me. -ARNOLD KUENNEN. sagaassg Page Th-irty-five f w x essa-Eo-Ep-Eo-Eo-Eo-zo-zo 33$?le ERCQve-e-cz-acz-e-ee-ae-ca-c Elmer 181ml; em iHartI NE evening during the holiday vacation my eld- est brother related to me how things went on at work where he is employed. Theuaverage man or woman motorist drives an automobile with little orlno thought about the origin, construction, or efficiency of the machine. When some part gives out-oh, well, take the car to the dealer and have it repaired. Some day that model will be obsolete; the dealer will not have a part-then what? Is the rest of the car to be Hjunked'?H No! Every automobile factory maintains what is known as the itsundry service department. Imagine that we have a car six years old, and the carburetor goes bad. Our dealerts stock is for the newer models, and he finds it neces- sary to send the order to the factory. Now we shall follow this order from the time it reaches the factoryis mailing department. The letter is opened by a clerk, stamped, and sent in air-tube to the service department. Once there, the part number is determined, and the order is prepared for the billets. From the bill- ing department it goes back for correction to the clerk in the service department, who has charge of the orders from this territory. He keeps a copy of the order and sends three copies to the sundry. Each part has a number, and the parts have what is known as a location. The girls in the sundry office locate the items on the order. All orders are placed in individual boxes on a mov- ing conveyor. As the conveyor passes, each man on this ttline files his items. Our order is now ready for the ttline, so it is loaded in the box. The location is Section 156, Bin 16. When it reaches the man who files the items fer this section he finds the sample ticket marked HObsolete . . . purchase item. When the orders reach the ship- ping room the other two copies are taken from the file and the stock is sent on the checker. Immediately he notifies the clerk in the office that there is no stock for part number 78603, and that it is a purchase item. This clerk examines his records and learns who makes the part. We shall suppose that 'it is made by the Strongberg Car- buretor Company, Fort Wayne, Indiana. If the order was forwarded to them, it would mean added delay; therefore the clerk makes out what is known as a spread and our order is again sent down the lines. Each man files his items, and the parts are sent to the repair depart- ment for assemblage. The carburetor is assembled, delivered to the sundry, checked, packed, and mailed in less than two hours after it arrives in the mailing room. The part is carried in the arms ofUnele Saints efficient mail clerks to the dealer; he replaces the now part, and the motorist calls for his car. He finds everything in perfect order and drives away as ignorant of the principles of Hparts service as he was before he came to the garage. --ROBERT KEMP. mum 13am Euainwa WE, AS students for the priesthood, have been called from various parts of the Union. We are gathered under one roof where we are to strive earnestly toward our goal. It is the duty of each one to mind his own business, and to e11- sure the safety of all. Do you realize that nine-tenths of all that goes wrong in the world does so because someone does not mind his business? When a terrible accident occurs, the first cry is that the means of prevene tion were not sufficient. Everybody declares we must have a new patent fire escape; an automatic engine switch; or some other contrivance. But a little investigation will usually show that all the contrivanees were on hand and in good working order; the real trouble was that somebody did not mind his business; he didnlt obey orders; he thought he knew a better way than the way he was told; he took a risk and made the other peo- ple take the risk. As a result we have some ter- rible accidents. But what has this to do with us? We have no valves, no signals, no fire, no shore, no lamps to watch.

Take for instance the small rule of being in bed at nine-thirty when the lights are out. Someone will think this a good time to go visiting a friend in another dormitory. He gets several others to go with him. When they reach the dormitory of his friend, they sit and talk. One suggests having a little smoke, and they all agree, not realizing the danger of setting some bed clothing afire. For a little pleasure they are taking the risk, and making all the other students take the risk. These rules have been made by persons who knew the inclinations of youth. They have been made to assure the safety of all. Therefore let each one of us mind his own business, and observe these small regulations which have been made'for our own welfare and for the safety of all. WM. J.

With- out grumbling any more Edward went downstairs and ate breakfast. He looked at the clockejust closed gently behind him, he half an hour. ttShall I serve Mass 01' follow the boys on the bicycle trip? thought he. Finally he decided to serve Mass. The bells were just ringing when Edward rode up to the sacristy door on his bicycle. As he opened it he saw Father Weilerls tall form. Green vestments lay on the sacristy table, while the candles flickered impatiently; the organ wasplay- ing melodious notes, everything was ready--but Edward. He seized a red eassoek from a nearby hook and, disregarding its size, slipped into it. During Mass Edward was inspired with holy thoughts. A picture entered his mind of a time not long ago when he was forced to stay indoors because of illness. How those days dragged along! No friends to sympathize with him, but Jesus; how different is He who welcomes even those who come reluctantly. During the afternoon one of his friends was killed on the main highway while coming home from the bicycle trip. What a shock it was to Edward! Perhaps if he had gone he would have been the unlucky chap to lose his life. -GORDON JOHNSON.

I pondered over them awhile, and then I thought I saw a boy five summers old. His smil- ing countenance portrayed all the happiness of childhood. There he stood in the bright, clear morning before his mother, who was combing his hair and adjusting his tie.

HODACH. Qlurinuz 011151111115 nf Olnngrvza CALMOST every person has some habit, probably formed early in life, which others think is queer. Similarly, a large group of men often fol- lows some custom which eventually becomes char- acteristic of that assembly. Two such bodies are the Senate and the House of Representatives at Washington. The Senate is conservative, sedate, and stately; the House progressive, free, and less imposing. The Senate, as a law-making body, has never al- lowed itself to be photographed in the Senate Chamber; the House permits itself to be photo- graphed on special occasions. Photographs have, however, been taken of the Senate while it was sitting with the House in a joint session. Another great difference is that the Senate rarely shortens debate on any questionwa Senator may talk as long as he pleases. This sometimes causes a filibuster, especially near the end of a session. In the House a member often has to beg for a few minutesi time to make a speech. The House is also free in allowing undelivered speeches to be printed in the Congressional Record. The Senate never permits this under any circum- stances. The Speaker of the House has many occasions to use the gavel. Being a large body, the House is not so easily called to order, and, as a result, the Speakers desk becomes so worn that the top must frequently be replaced. The gavel used in the Senate is made of solid ivory and has no handle. It was first used in the Continental Con- gress, and, as it does not see heavy service, it is still in comparatively good condition. Each branch of the legislative department fol- lows its own customs and seldom deviates from them. In case of doubt, precedents are consulted and closely followed. 0f the two chambers, how- ever, the Senate follows its traditions more re- ligiously than does the House. RAYMOND FETTERER.

The question how snowflakes are formed is often asked by many people. A snowflake is made thus: When the temperature is below the freezing point, when the condensation of the moisture in the air takes place, the moisture will form in a great and wonderful variety of snowflakes. These crystals then float downward through the air very slowly and finally reach the ground. All snowflakes are shaped in a hexagonal de- sign. Some of these icy crystals are small, others are large. Perhaps a person may not think much of the beauty of a snowflake when he sees 'it lying on the ground or floating about in the air. If he closely observes these tiny flakes of ice when they are placed beneath a magnifying glass, he will see the immense beauty of them. There are at least a thousand different de- signs of snow crystals. Some have the shape of stars, some have the form of flowers, and others have the appearance of geometric designs. The whiteness of these hexagonal crystals is due to the reflection of light from their many facets. When the beams of the morning sun shine on them, they have the appearance of precious diamonds. Although there are millions and millions of these tiny crystals, we should fully appreciate their infinite beauty. -PAUL DOCKENDORFF. Emily 1hr Evatrnger HE heat on a Sunday afternoon in midsummer C'7compelled three friends and myself to take refuge in the cool waters of Lake Michigan. After swimming and diving for about an hour we left the water and lay down on the warm sand of the beach. Now we enjoyed the heat of the sun, for our bodies had become chilled by the cool water. As we lay there 011 the sand I noticed a dark ob- ject floating on the water about half a block from the shore. We thought it was a log and planned on having some fun with it. We had plenty of time, and felt rather lazy, so we de- cided to allow the log to float in to the shore in stead of swimming out after it. We commenced to talk of other things more interesting to us, and soon forgot about the log. After about twenty minutes of such talk I happened to glance toward the water and saw the waves rolling on the shore what we had thought was a log. I gave a yell and pointed at it; my companions rose to their feet with looks of hor- ror on their faces, for there, at our feet, lay the ghastly form of a dead man. He was an exeservice man, as the button on his dress suit implied, and was about thirty years old. A more sickening sight I hope I shall never see. He must have been in the water for about five days, for the parts of the body not con- cealed by the clothes were covered with a thick gray film. As he lay there on the shore, his open eyes stared coldly at the sky, and the water ran through his brown hair and into his nose and open mouth, and would slowly run out again as if the lake were coaxing him to embark again upon her broad expanse. We could easily discern that the man had not drowned, for his body was not bloated as is us ually the case, and the hole in his forehead, along with the black and blue marks around it, led us to draw the conclusion that he had been either shot or slugged. A crowd soon gathered, and one of their num- ber immediately left to summon a coroner. We, saddened by the ghastly sight we had beheld, turned from it and moved slowly away. -JOHN ASPEL, y27. 9 45.5.5. HGGE . . .

We remember how the people spread their garments before Him, and, waving palms, cried: ttHosanna in Exeelsis! These palms were taken from the date trees. It must have been a very inspiring sight to see the crowd waving them around our Lord. The palm is a symbol of victory and of joy. In christian art the painter, when creating pic- tures of martyr-saints, represents them with palms, to show the victory which they have at- tained in the fight against the devil. Palm trees grow around oases in the desert. They are shade trees, and represent the protection of God, and the giving of His grace. Since we cannot use date palms, as there are not enough for every Catholic 'in the world, we are allowed the use of other kinds, such as the palmetto and the branches of the olive trees. These palms are blessed on Palm Sunday, which, of course, changes every year according to Easter Sunday. The practice of blessing palms is said to have originated about the fifth cen- tury, although we have no record until the time of Saint Bede, who lived from 673 to 735. It is thought that palms came into use in reproductions of the Passion Play. When blessing the palms, the priest wears a purple cope. He reads from the Old Testament an account of the journey of the Israelites through the desert to Mount Sinai, where they found twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees. He then reads from the Gospel of Saint Matthew; telling of the triumphant march of our Lord into Jerusalem. A preface is sung, asking a blessing for the palms, and for the people who respect them. In the olden times the procession would start at one church, and go to another one. Now we have the procession within the church. In- cluded in the blessing are the Introit, Collect, Epistle, Gospel, Prefaee, and Sanctus. Yet it is no Mass. After the Mass the palms are given out. It is proper to give them at the communion rail, but, in case it is in a large parish, they may be distributed at the seats. If there are any extra palms, they are saved, and burned for the next Ash Wednesday, when the ashes are rubbed 0n the foreheads of the people to remind them that they are dust, and must re- turn to dust. -HAROLD GIBBONS. 112121 in $7115prn52 SHALL never forget my first night at Saint Francis Seminary. I slept in a large dormia tory. My bed was about the fifteenth one in the long row. After I had donned my Hsleeping gown, I crawled into bed, to think of those who were thinking of me. After the prefect had switched off the lights, I was nearly asleep when I heard a loud crash, followed by someone tumbling out of bed onto the floor. This was followed by loud laughter. I did not pay much attention to this mirth because I was very tired. This noise happened a few more times, so I thought I would sit up and see what was going on. I saw, much to my dis- like, that the older boys were initiating the new- comers by tipping their beds. I also perceived that they had started at the end of the lon'g'line with their punishment and were moving slowly toward my bed. I lay there, perspiration breaking out on me. I knew that my turn would come sooner or later. Every few minutes I heard that dooming crash, and I knew how it would sound and feel when I hit the floor. Again I raised my head. Only four more beds remained. As I gazed the fourth one went over, and there were only three left. I lay there quiet. Soon I knew, by the commo- tion, that there were only two, and then one left. The last followed the others soon. I trembled all over as I pulled the covers tight to me and braced myself with my hands on the sides of the bed. Just as I thought my turn had come, the lights were switched on and the stern master of discipline came in. He said, darting cold looks at the initia- tors, that there would be no more scenes tonight. Breathing a deep sigh of relief I fell back on my pillowesaved. --ANTHONY BAIER.

No matter which phase of the sport you especially love, each has that indefinable and irresistible lure which leads men out of their cozy homes. It calls them either to the great duck marshes, when the huge rafts of ducks are trading from point to point in the teeth of a northwester, t0 the open fields on a hazy October day with gun and dog, or to the forest with its many-colored hardwoods and somber aisles of evergreens. If it is the duck marshes to which the lure is especially strong, it will be during that dense darkness which comes just before dawn, that you will crawl from between your warm blankets into a room crackling with frost. By the time you have wood cut for the fire, for the wood pile is usually small in the morning, your partner will have a steaming breakfast of bacon, eggs, bread, and hot coffee prepared. This being quickly dis- posed of, you don warm sweaters, hip boots and heavy, waterproof canvas coats. When the capa- cious yockets are filled with shells of various loads,- you pass out into the blustery night. The bottom of the hunting skiff is covered with wooden decoys, leaving just enough room for yourself and your partner. Within a half hourls hard rowing, you skid under the lee of a marshy point. When the wooden decoys have been anchored outethe mallards in one group, the canvas-bncks, bluebills and redheads in another- you pull your boat into the rushes and camou- flage it to harmonize with its surroundings. The sky is mottled with dark clouds skidding before the wind, and the horizon is swiftly brightening. The ducks are already trading, for you are startled by the sudden whistle of wings as ten teal-tiny cannon ballsepass over your head, flying with the wind. It is too late to shoot now, so you settle down again, and keep a sharp look- out. Your partner soon whispers, ttLook! right. You see a flock of canvasvbaeks quarter'ing against the wind, their wings and breasts flashing silver in the early morning light. A moment more and you both spring to your feet, the re- ports of the guns sounding simultaneously. Three lifeless bodies fall like plummets and float abreast 11p upon the heaving water. They, the vanguard of the southward flight, will lie there until there is a pause in the chain of birds. Then they will be gathered up as quickly as possible. In front, another flock is seen approaching. Again the guns roar, and two more join those Which lie upon the water. The flight goes on for several hours, and at the close ten birds complete your bag. You gather up the dead birds and decoys and then push the skiff out from its screen of rushes. You pick up the oars and have soon reached the cottage. After you have indulged in another hearty meal, stored the duffel, and locked the cottage, you start for the railroad. You will soon partake of another joy of hunt- ing, for when you beard the train and walk down the aisle, looking for a seat, you know that you are followed by many pairs of eyes, green with envy. You seem to have grown an inch taller, and your chest swells so that it threatens to burst your vest. -AMBR0SE MACKOWSKI.

Several days before, while playing near the house, I had seen a delivery man carry three large packages in the back door. This at once aroused my curiosity. I entered the house in order to see what these paekages contained, and began untying the one that looked most promising. I succeeded in open- ing only one knot, when my mother stopped me. I was ordered to take the bundles into the attic and come down immediately. I did as I was told; however, my curiosity was not satisfied. It was the eve of Christmas. For the past two days I had been trying to fathom the mystery of those packages upstairs, but to no avail. As soon as I attempted to enter the attic, I was told to perform some task not at all to my liking. On this particular evening we were gathered in the parloreall except my fathereawaiting the com- ing of Santa Claus. On asking where my father was, I was told he had gone to church to make his Christmas confession. I doubted this very much, for the last time I saw him that evening was when he entered the attic. I went to the kitchen, using the excuse that I wanted a drink of water, and locked the upstairs door. Then I returned to the parlor to wait for Santa Claus. About fifteen minutes later there was a ter- rifie knocking and pounding on the attic door, accompanied by a gruff voice, Which I knew at once to be that of my father, demanding a release from his temporary captivity. My mother opened the door, and Santa Claus, in the person of my father, walked majestically through the kitchen into the parlor. eALPHONSE KOHLER. Hahn mas 7E2?

If you board the trolley car there, which is of the'ttTooner- ville type, you can ride to the first of a chain of nineteen lakes. This lake is about four miles from Waupaca. There you could board a small launch, but that would only take you to a few of the lakes, so we will take you in our small motor boat. You see, these nineteen lakes are all connected by channels, some of which are fairly deep and wide, others shallow and narrow. But, here is our boat, so hop into it. Look down into that water; isntt it clear? And it Is just right for swimming in the summer, too. Just look around the lake; isnlt the scen- ery beautiful? Observe those stately pines; they surround nearly every lake here. These lakes are a fine place for a vacation. We are going into Rainbow Lake now. This is one of the largest. There is quite a clearing on the hill to the left; those buildings behind my illirat NE evening, as I was passing the Hotel, I met a friend who worked in the hotel. ttZuki, he said, Hwe will be very busy to- night, so you may come in and help us. Seeing my opportunity to earn a little spending money, I went With him into the hotel. The clock struck seven. My friend led me down to the cellar. As I entered it I almost fell over from the terrible smell, and from thinking that I was to work there. As I was walking through the cellar, something squashed under my foot. .My friend, hearing the noise, said, Oh, tone might almost call them a villagel are a part of the Wisconsin Veteranst Home. See what a pretty color the water is; at sunset it appears to have various hues, hence its name. Thus we go from one lake to another; every- where you see many phenomena of nature, besides much natural beauty. When passing through the channels you see the pine needles a foot deep on the ground. We cannot visit all the lakes, as we cannot navigate all the narrows with our boat. We need a skiff if we wish to see them all. As we have none with us, we return to the first lake by a different route. You marvel at the beauty and primitiveness of these lakes and wonder that they are so sparsely settled. It is strange that, except at two or three of the lakes, you will scarcely find a cot- tage. This is probably due to the many islands and lack of roads. However, I think that these clear lakes and the beautiful scenery will soon lure men on to overcome all difficulties. eFRANK H. KEHLNHOFER. $mmtahnp that is only a cockroach. There are thousands of them down here. Soon we came to the place where I was to work. In the corner was a large sink. Piled up against the wall were seven eases full of soiled dishes, which I had to wash and wipe. I thought that this was all I had to do, but every five min- utes someone would bring down another case. This kept me busy until five oiclock in the morning. During my work I fell asleep twice, only to be awakened by a cockroach whose hairy legs would tickle my ears. tugg-re-E- eeae-a-a-sasmggamf .927 33.33333: . .

I almost ate up the poor thing. This spoiled my appetite for another twelve hours. At seven otclock my shift was relieved. As I was leaving, I received my salary. I shall never work there again, because for those twelve hours of hard work I received only one dollar. eANTHONY ZUKAITIS. Nature? QDnm WHEN I was about six years old I used to go into the woods and pick some of nature's own strawberries. They became ripe in the middle of July. Every morning I arose at seven olcloek and took a walk into the woods. I ate delicious straw- berries first, then I went home to eat breakfast. While I was sitting on the green moss with a handful of bloodrred berries, I listened to the sweet songs of the birds. I loved to observe the birds who perched in the trees about the place where I sat. They would watch me eat the ber- ries which they otherwise would have eaten. Often as I watched them some other little visitors would come to see what was going on. As I was sitting there one morning, two young squirrels came and visited me. I sat still. mizrnnain TANDING in front of the Boston Store, I QSwatched with great pleasure the hustle and bustle 011 Wisconsin Avenue: people going into and coming out of stores in an interminable throng; automobiles blowing their horns, all in a hurry to be on their way; each one ever alert to pass any- one who should lag. Everywhere there was an evidence of great haste and excitement. A holi- day atmosphere was in the air. Windows were gorgeously decorated; crowds constantly stood before them; the places vacated by those who left were immediately taken by those who came up. Children pushed and squirmed their way to the front of the crowd, where they stood, some pointing at toys in the window, some 'with noses flattened against the glass, some gay with assurance of the fulfillment of their expec- They came within four feet of me, and they played like little kittens. All of a sudden a rab- bit came running toward me. I looked up and saw a fox chasing him. The rabbit ran to my side and crawled under the edge of my coat for protection. When the fox saw me, he ran away. I took the rabbit out from under my coat and let him run. Then I picked some more berries to bring home for my youngest sister. I plucked some violets on my way home. I had a little handful when a big black snake began to chase me. I dropped everything I had in my hands and ran for life. The strawberry season was over soon, and I did not go to the woods alone after that. -CHARLEs MIHM. anh Iliuurth tations, some wistfully gazing at what they dearly longed for, but hopelessly felt that Santa. would never bring. To some, Christmas in the past had always meant the fulfillment of their every wish; to others--th0se who gazed wistfullyeit had meant, perhaps, a single tiny toy, a vision of a mother and dad who felt rather a sadness lugging at their hearts than a spirit of joy. Such was the story brought home to my mind as I stood and watched. After a time spent in thus watching the crowds, I turned from a bystander to one of the throng itself. But, as I wended my way through the crowded street, there lingered in my mind the picture of a child wistfully gazing at a brightly tinted horn. eFRED ZAUNER. 3- 3-53-3339 33 -sng l 9 2 7 ng: mcz-ci-a-cae-a-G-G w - - . 3339-3399 Page Forty-seve; f L x. :33-3-3-3-3-3-33 32:93:61 ERC EZQG-cze-e-cacz-ee-cz-e-ca-c 11mm fur Glhriztmas---T$g a $trrtrh WAS thirteen years old, and, it being my first J year at college, I was anxiously awaiting Christmas vacation. I had my fare, and was ready to go home as soon as the time arrived. At last it came. The other fellows from my home town and I went to the Northwestern depot to take the early train. It was threeethirty in the morning when we arrived there. The train was to leave at four-ten. We passed the time as well as we could until the time came to buy our tickets. The ticket agent opened the window and I ordered a ticket for Marquette. As he was about to hand it to me I gave him at check. He refused to take it because I had no identification. Now, what was I to do? It was four 0,clock in the morning; ten minutes to train time; no banks open so I could cash my check. Well, a friend and I dashed around to the neighboring places of business trying to cash the check, but in vain. We returned to the depot all fatigued. I was despairing. I thought I should have to wait for the next train, and go home alone. Finally, a thought came to my mind. I reached for my pocketbook, and took out three dollars. I bor- rowed two more from my friends. They looked at me in amazement. Then, with three minutes to go, I hurried to the ticket window and, crouching down to make myself look smaller, I ordered a half fare ticket to Marquette. I received the ticket rejoicing, but I still had one more obstacle to overcome: to get by the con- ductor without him suspecting me. This set my brains working again, but they appeared to be failing me. I was on the train already, and we were well on our way. Soon I saw the conductor enter the front door of the coach and begin to collect the tickets. This gave me more chance to think be- cause I was sitting toward the rear of the coach. He kept coming closer and closer, and soon he was four seats from me. I tried to devise some scheme, but it seemed impossible. Just then I hap- pened to glance around, and I saw a man sleep- ing with his ticket in his hat. This gave me an idea. I immediately doubled up in my chair, cov- ered myself with my overcoat, put my ticket in my cap and apparently fell asleep. A few mine utes later I felt the conductor pull the ticket from my cap, and then put the stub back again. When he was gone I heaved a sigh of relief, sat back in my chair and enjoyed the remainder of my journey in peace. -RAYM0ND SCHVVEMIN. 111111; New iHipP AY, did you ever try to break in a new pipe? Well, I did once. I bought a fine looking pipe, all shiny in a thick coat of red varnish, for fifty cents. At home I filled the pipe with some old dry Plow Boy and went to a nearby wood. I found a nice seat behind a large tree, and lit the pipe. The first few puffs tasted fine. After a few more puffs I tasted more varnish than tobacco. My stomach didnlt feel right. My neck seemed to be of rubber, and my head was turning com- pletely around. I seemed to be balancing on the top of a high wall. I heard a titter from behind me and I knew who it was. It was a friend who had followed me. Now I was angry and deter- mined not to tip out the tobacco. I took another puff. The wall seemed to be swaying more and more. My face must have registered my feelings for another titter came to my ears. Yet another titter came to my ears, and the pipe found its way to my mouth, which seemed trying to avoid the pipe. Hatefully I took another puff, and the wall was falling, falling, and down. I became conscious of the jeers of my comrades, of whom there seemed to be a great crowd. I would not show the white feather, so I put the pipe into - my mouth; but thank goodness, the pipe had gone out. Moral: Never smoke a pipe with too much valL nish. --ADRIAN TROST.

My father, brother, Cy and I were spreading shocks of oats because it had rained the previous night; the shocks, if not spread to dry, would have been too wet to store away into the barn. It was about nine oiclock that morning, while we were very busy spreading the shocks, that my father noticed great rolls of smoke rising from behind a distant woods. The smoke became thicker and rose higher. I said at once that it must be a farmeris barn which had been set on fire, either by the combustion of wet grain or by the sparks of a locomotive. The smoke became still heavier. It looked as though there were an oil well burning. All of a sudden fierce flames arose amidst the thick smoke. Aroused by this exciting scene, we forgot our work and rushed to the road, where we got a ride in a short while. Rides were easy to get, because lines of autos sped to the big fire. When we arrived there, what did we see? Ah! We saw a fire, the like of which had not been witnessed by many. Fierce flames were devouring an immense structure which was filled with many tons of hay, many loads of grain, and much ma- chinery, the best of which was a thresher. This was all caused by the explosion of a lite tle two-horsepower gasoline engine Which some- one had tried to start in order to pump some water. The house and some other small buildings near it were protected by the many hands that helped to carry water to keep all sparks from starting a flame. Yes! It was a sad sight. It was a fire that was left to burn at its will. The flames devoured the large barn as a- wolf does its prey. Timber after timber, board after board, fell into the fire ,till nothing but a pile of ashes remained. This is one of the many instances in which the farmer is very unfortunate. On an occasion like this, he cannot call the assistance of a. fire department to check the flames, but can only be- hold the violence of the blaze, as it devours his costly possessions, and become discouraged. -ROBERT STANGEL. Glhnnzing A Huratinn HAT are you going to be when you become a man? This is a question that is frequently put to a little child. In response it will say, in its childish tongue, in whatever state of life it is particularly interested. It has been shown by many striking examples how a child, after having expressed its desire to choose a certain vocation, will direct all its ambitions to that cause. The time at which boys should think seriously about the choice of a vocation is when they are about to graduate from the grades. It is true there are but few that are chosen for that sublime vocation of the holy priesthood. Many of these, however, are doubtful as to whether they should take the step or not. This uncertainty often shows good qualities in a boy, for it plainly mani- fests carefulness and seriousness in selecting a vocation. If, however, one is impeded by doubts, the most efficacious means to obtain guidance is by prayer. If one confides in the Almighty Power, he is safe to select a vocation, and at the same time feel that he is doing rightly. A very permanent obstacle that impedes many , boys in selecting a vocation is interference on the part of parents. It is a grave injustice on their part to select vocations for their children. Parents do not know what the boy likes, nor do they know what state of life is most appropriate for him. Therefore it behooves parents to refrain from such intervention. If the boy is at liberty to choose his vocation, he will have someone to praise for happiness and success in his future life, and will have no one to blame for sorrow or failure. eJOSEPH STAGL. - 3-33-sz '92?

But in the mind of every true Christian there also tarries fond memories of that first Christmas nineteen hundred years ago. We love to think of this sublime incident be- cause of the exhibition of the supreme love as- sociated with it. As we look back we can picture the rugged crib; we see the Divine Babe murmur- ing from the bitter cold; we see Mary, his Mother, answering His plaintive cry; and there, close at hand, is Joseph, trying to shut out the cold wind from his spouse and the Child; we hear the angels chanting the HGloria in Excelsis Deofi we vis- ualize the three kings adoring and offering gold, frankincense and myrrh; the shepherds are gazing with loving eyes at their long-sought-for Re- deemer. We are moved with awe at the simplicity in which this Saviour of the world came: a poor infant, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying on a bed of straw in a little stable at Bethlehem. While this holy thought occupies our minds, most probably this question will come to us: HWhat if this divine incident had never 0c. curred? Our answer to this is that history would be entirely changed, because the Catholic Church has played a great part in the history of the world; that we, as the people of old, would be praying to God to send the promised Messiah. eFRANCIS J.

NE dark and dreary night in November, a se- vere rain storm came over Lake Michigan and gave full vent to its feelings when it found a bar- rier in its path. This barrier was our Seminary. 0n the top floor of the building there is a dormitory which faces the lake. The fame of this sleeping room is far spread. The reason for its renown can easily be explained by the nickname which it bears, namely, the HIce Box. The dorm- itory lives up to its name. At the time my story opens this room was oc- cupied by eight students, who had just retired. The noise of the rain beating against the win- dows was mingled with the deep breathing of those who were far off in ttslumberland. The silence was suddenly broken by a cry of distress. UJiminy, fellows, my bed is floating! shall I do? HGet an oar and go for a ride, sleepily drawled one of his mates. HSay, if you think Pm fooling, he retorted, come and see for yourself. Only I advise you to keep off the floor. By this time everyone in the dormitory was awake, and several went over to see what they could do to rescue their dorm partner. The lights were switched on, and then they saw that the rain was coming through the cracks in the Window sill. A conference was held; and, as they all thought it very funny, the meeting was interrupted time and again by some joke or witty saying. What Eh? 3135112 LA T HALF past five the seminarian is awakened by a large bell ringing out its discordant tones. He rises on his elbow, observes that his dorm- mates are not moving, and then he goes under his covers again, muttering to himself, H1,11 wait 'until the second bell; there is plenty of time, and I am still tired. . The boy dozes off, and awakes at the second bell. In deciding whether he should jump right out or not, he wastes about five minutes. He finally jumps out of bed and begins to dress Say, I've got an idea, exclaimed one. HTake it easy, old scout, you know you are not used to such a thing,H prompted another. ttHere is my idea, whether you want it or not, he replied. HTake the garbage can and put it against the window sill so it catches the water. That will save tPorky, from drowning, and also shut him up so we can get some much- desired sleep. Another thing, put some towels in the cracks of the window. This idea was quickly put into practice, and soon all was quiet again. During the night the rain turned 'into snow, the thermometer dropped steadily. When the first bell announced its sad news the next morning, not a single student made a move- ment to arise. At the second bell there was a sudden change; everyone dressed in a hurry, spurred on by the freezing temperature in the room. NSay, yawned one, how full is the garbage can?,, ttHalf full, and I think you better hurry. You have exactly two minutes to get downstairs, re- sponded Porkyii There was a general rush for the door after this remark. Such is life in the Ice Boxfl Cold though it may be, every member of the dormitory will agree that it is the best dorm in the Seminary. --PHILIP SCHWAB. $lrrp2r hastily. He leaves the dormitory before he is entirely dressed and rushes down the stairs, put- ing in his shirt and buttoning it on the way. He is down on time, and as soon as morning prayers are over he goes to the lavatory and washes the sleep from his eyes. He also combs his hair and adjusts his tie. He is about to leave the lavatory when he stumbles on his shoe-string, which has not been tied. After tieing his shoestring, he enters the study hall, thinking he will get up at first bell the next day.

The walls are covered with a tin covering. Two pictures hanging at the front wall and two at the rear wall, and one to the right, are all the decorations, except a calendar off toward one corner. At the center of the front wall hangs a crucifix. Near, and to the left of this, is the picture of Christ and the Doctors. Below this picture is a board about two feet square, used as a bulletin board, on which are tacked a few pa- pers containing topics which the members of the hall should know. Thus, whenever someone has lost or found some article of value, he will put a notice on this board. T0 the left of the hall is the prefectls desk. elevated on a rostrum so that he can easily watch the members of the hall during study periods. Hanging on the wall above this rostrum is a pic- ture of Abraham Lincoln. From him we learn to bear our hardships patiently, to persevere in our course, and that one need not be born great to be- come a great man. Across from this 'is a picture of the Blessed Virgin, to whom we turn when tasks seem unmas- terable. Placed along the wall on all sides is a row of clothes hooks. These are heavily laden with coats, sweaters, and caps, besides tennis rackets and golf clubs. All this seems old-fashioned and worn out to us now; yet, after we are gone for several months, the sight of the hall is again welcome. When priests that have not seen it for a number of years enter, their first comment is: UThe same old place as everf, Yet, besides the classroom, it is where we obtain most of our knowledge to become God,s priests. We do not therefore despise this hall or think it is not good enough. It is where we live almost nine months of the year. --LEONAR.D ROTERT.

There fore I think it is worthy of a little explanation. The uad limina is a visit. Its literal mean- ing is, Ht0 the threshold. Every archbishop and bishop in charge of a diocese must at certain times make a. visit to Rome. This visit is called the ad Iimina. During this Visit he must make a complete report of his diocese and his dealings With it, to His Holiness, the Pope. This Visit is to be made every three years by the bishops who live near Rome. The other arch- bishops and bishops of Europe should make it every four years, and the bishops who rule over more distant sees are to make this visit every five years. Our own American bishops were obliged to make the ad limina visit only every tenth year.

The feeling that comes over us is not at all pleasant. I shall always especially remember one incident of my life which caused me a great deal of discomfiture. The Easter holidays were over and I was leav- ing for the Seminary to finish the last quarter of the school year. While on the ttbus to Mil- waukee, I entered into conversation with a middle- aged man. He was very talkative, and his speech was friendly. One queer thing about him was that every few minutes he would glance at his right hand. I soon noticed that he had a penny in that hand. This observation and his actions made me begin to wonder if he were sound in mind. As we approached Milwaukee, a large truck traveling at a slow speed passed us, making it necessary for the bus driver to lag behind. The driver was unable to pass the truck as the man driving the latter would steer his car from one side of the road to the other. I could not resist saying something to this fellow, who, I thought, was a Jew; so I opened one of the bus windows and cried out, HHey, Ikie, pull your freight! I donlt believe he heard me, because of the noise of the truck, but anyhow, we passed him soon after that. Suddenly I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder, and looking back I noticed that it was the strange man to whom I had been talking. He said to me, You must be good to the Jews. I asked him why I should be good to them. He replied, HI am a Jew. 0! How embarrassed I was! I seemed to perspire all over my body. Just then I was not the same fellow I had been three minutes before. I was wishing that the seat in which I was sitting would go through the floor of the ttbus and I with it. Without saying anything to the Jew, I sat back in my seat, trying to be my old self again. -EUGENE PANKRATZ. A g?npprinr Hairmt EVERAL years ago I had the great honor of ac- cscompanying my grandfather on a hunting trip. An honor, I say, because whoever was picked to go with him deemed it an honor. We planned to be gone for several weeks. Our provisions were well looked after before we started. Beans, corn, fruit, and milk made up our supply of canned goods. My grandfather had an old Pierce Ar- row that age had almost dilapidated. We started our trip on the nineteenth of November, and we decided to be back a day or two before Christmas. As we drove along, I took notice of all the beautiful scenery which certainly adorns the high- ways of Wisconsin. The hills and dales, the towns and villages, all wore the purest coat of white, although it had not snowed heavy enough to pre- vent our progress. We reached the Land O, Lakes and stopped there for a few days, but everything was very quiet around there; We again took up our trail and stopped near Superior. Our evenings were often taken up with the pleasures Superior had for tourists. They were not what the papers or pamphlets wrote about them, but one in particu- lar concerned me. We happened to find the poster for the eve- ninghs revelry. The chief amusement for the eve- ning was the ttamateur barber, and as I did not have a haircut for over a month, I thought I needed one. Haircuts were given to anyone for a quarter of a dollar, and for nothing if the per- son was not satisfied. I took a chance, but I did not pay for the clipping I received. If I had not stopped the amateur barber, he would most certainly have shaved my crown. Although this haircut was not superior in quality, it was never- theless a Superior haircut. -J. MUCKERHEIDE.

If you do not understand the work you are liable to have a large fire, and at the same time a large loss. Great dan- ger also lies in starting a fire which might spread into the surrounding forest. I know of only one way of making charcoal, and this I think is the best way. I will try to explain 'it in the following lines as well as I can. When sufficient trees have been cut down, they are cut into logs of about two and a half yards in length. These logs are then split into halves, and split again until there are about twelve pieces out of a log originally sixteen inches in diameter. The main articles now being prepared, the construction of a foundation for the wooden cone follows. A round net-like chimney is first made. It has, for stronger support, iron rings, so that it keeps the logs apart when the work is begun. A few pieces of dry wood are placed on the bottom along with some other substance which kindles easily. Then the prepared pieces of wood are placed ver- tically around the chimney as close to one another as possible, so that, after it is ready for kindling, the exclusion of air is easier. The wooden cone 'is growing higher and higher. When it has reached the height of about eighteen to twenty-five feet, it is at its base about fifteen to twenty feet in diameter. Then follow the last outward touches, which, as it were, seem to smooth out the cone, but in reality serve for keeping the air away from the holes which could not have been avoided while the cone was being constructed. Everything prepared, the fire is kindled with the wood put in before the cone was begun. The smoke comes out from the top as if from a smok- ing volcano. After the fire has been kindled, the work that follows is light. The only thing left to do, providing you do not have to prepare wood for the next cone, is to check the flames and watch that the fire inside this cone does not spread with too much energy; for if the wood should burn, it would turn into ashes, thus causing a great loss. After a week or two weeks of watehfulness we have a large amount of charcoal, which is then transported and used for various purposes. --MARK E. PAKIZ. An Hufnrgrtahle EHannr AST summer, for the first time, I worked in a factory. I was very fortunate to secure the position, for I was a minor, and I needed money for the coming school year. I was placed in the fuse department, where I soldered fuse caps. In soldering these caps I used large tongs with which I could securely hold the fuse caps over the gas torch. After the fuse cap became red hot I dipped the end into a very strong acid before placing the lead upon it. This acid caused the lead to run around the cap and to make it airtight. A week after I received employment Peter, my boss, gave me a premium-slip and said: HI know you need money, so I shall give you a chance to earn some. I thanked him and took the slip to the pres mium office. Here I discovered that I would now be obliged to solder sixty fuse caps per hour. My heart sank, and my expectation of a chance to earn more money was lost, for at my best, I could only solder fifty fuse caps an hour. I went to my bench and worked as fast as I could, but to no avail. I was unable to solder the required amount, and therefore could not hold pre- mium privilege. Some of the machinists told me that they were surprised to see me ttstiok t0 the task assigned me. Many persons had held the job before I came, but they either quit or were burnt by the acid. Now what was I to do? If I was dissatisfied with the job, they would hire someone else who would be satisfied, and I would be told to leave. My desire to return to school gave me new determination to ttstick to it as long as I could. August the thirteenth was a rush day at the factory.

There is a great variety of work done by students-during vacation, and cherry picking hap- pened-to be one rather strange work that I did. Cherry picking does not seem queer to me, but I was surprised to discover the ignorance many peo- ple have of the cherry country. Most of the sour cherries raised in our coun- try come from the upper peninsula of Door County, Wisconsin, beginning on the north shore of Sturgeon Bay and extending many miles north- ward. Statistics show that there are approxi- mately 500,000 cherry trees in this regionethat is saying nothing about the 200,000 apple trees and the many other fruit trees. The camp at which I worked is located on the Door County fair grounds, and is operated under the supervision of HThe Cherry Harvestersi As- sociation at Sturgeon Bay. The pickers work in the orchards of the growers belonging to this association. Cherry picking is by no means a Nsnap, as you would say in modern slang. Although it can- not be called hard labor, it has many hardships connected with it and is often very discouraging to young pickers. To begin with, the weather is very disagreeable to one not accustomed to it. The days are hot, but the nights are cold, and just after a picker is beginning to find rest for his aching back and sunburned shoulders at night, he suddenly wakes as a cold draught blows through the canvas bunk he is sleeping on. The next morning the sound of the bugle at six oiclock is about as welcome to a Hcherry snapper as the sound of first bell is to a seminarist, or the buzz of the alarm clock is to a young man Hthe day after the night before.H The orchards are assigned to the different groups after breakfast, which task is generally finished before seven oteloek. If one is assigned to an orchard several miles distant, much time is lost in going out there and in coming back on trucks. At the orchard several four-quart pails are given the picker, and I assure you that there is no pail filled for which the picker does not earn his few cents, for when the trees are large and not heavily laden with fruit, picking them clean is slow and difficult. Dinner consists of a few sandwiches and some sweetmeats to go with them. It often happens, during the course of the day, that when one has a good start and intends to pick 100 quarts that day, a sudden ruin breaks outefor Sturgeon Bay always has these unexpected showerseund spoils picking for the rest of the day. Such are the trials of a picker. Cherry Camp, however, also has its bright side. When a picker is assigned to an adjacent orchard with small trees heavily laden, he can pick many more quarts in a day because of the early start in the morning and because he can pick later in the afternoon. In a place like this, picking is a real joy. After supper, which is the heavy meal of the day, the long summer evenings furnish many joys and amusements. There is ample time and space to give every boy a chance to play indoor base- ball every evening. After it becomes too dark to play indoor any longer, one or another group of boys usually presents a program before the grandstand on the grounds. On Wednesday and Saturday nights we were permitted to go where we pleased, but had to be back at 9:30 P. M. Sun- day was always a day of rest and enjoyment. All of the boys were permitted to go to their churches in the morning, and the board of directors always gave us some entertainment in the afternoon. They took us to the bay to go swimming several times, and once we were taken to visit the HUnited States Coast Guard Station at the out- let 0f the channel, which connects Sturgeon Bay with Lake Michigan. This was a very interesting and educative trip. Cherry Camp, like all places of that nature, has its good and its disagreeable phases. Taking all things in all, however, I think that the good points win. Of course, every cherry picker will remember with sorrow the high trees, the rainy days, the cold nights and the dreadful blast of reveille; but he can never forget the small trees which seemegi almost a solid mass of red, the in- door baseball games, theevening entertainments, the swimming trips, and the soft notes of taps which summoned him to sleep. And in the end, when his final reward, his pay check, .comes, there is no one who leaves Cherry Camp'without :1 happy heart and pleasant memories. -JAMES W. LANG, ,28.

We were to celebrate the Fourth of July in that great city. It was to be my first time away from home. My joy was so great that it seemed to me as if the long longed-for time would never come. About eight otclock several of my friends came over to the house and asked me to accom- pany them to the railroad tracks about three blocks from our house. I obtained motherts con- sent, but before I went she warned me not to get into any trouble which in any way could shat- ter our plans. When we arrived at the railroad tracks we looked at the various colored and decorated auto- mobiles which were on the flat cars, and which were sent to Sheboygan for the Fourth of July celebration. We also took great delight in walk- ing on the tops of the box cars. Soon a freight train came along, and as it slowly moved 011 one could see that the smoke which came from its chimney left, so to say, a smoke screen. As it passed us, we counted the freight cars. I took great pleasure in this when suddenly some black smoke got into my eyes, making it difficult for me to see. I walked back- wards toward the highway and into the road. Sud- denly I was thrown to the ground, and I felt two wheels run over my legs. I screamed, and my companions, upon hearing my cry, came and helped me to my feet, but it was to no avail. I could not stand upon them for the pain was too great. In the meantime the driver of the auto- mobile had escaped without even stopping to see whether he had killed me or not. My friends carried me home, and Dr. Junck was summoned. The doctor arrived, and after a brief examination said that some bones in my legs might be fractured, so he set my feet in braces. The next morning I was taken to the hospital, where an X-1'ay of my legs was taken. The pic- tures disclosed that both my legs were fractured. The doctor then set my legs 'into casts. For two whole months I remained in the hos- pital. I did not mind the pain in my legs so much as the pain in my heart, for my accident had shattered motherts hope of ever again seeing Chi- cago. The last time she was there was ten years ago. But I have determined that when I fins ish my course of studies, she shall have the pleas- ure of seeing Chicago, and many other large cities as well. eJOSEPH W. JUKNIALIs, t28.

N THE outskirts of Clinton Dale, 3 city in the Jsouthern part of Virginia, stood a handsome old mansion called Oak Glen. It shrank back from the roadway and was partly hidden to passers-by, in a grove of oaks. This oak grove was only part of a spacious park and garden which surrounded the grand old house. Well- elipped hedges and old-fashioned trellises border- ing a trickling little brook, made the garden most fascinating to those whose privilege it was to stroll through its winding paths. In the back- e'g'ronnd could be seen the chimney of the power house, which was taken care of by the son of the butler, a skilled engineer who had studied at the New York Scientific School of Engineering. The house itself was very ancient in structure, having thick walls, many tiny windows, high gables, and broad verandas and porticos. The front entrance lead into a living room with a large fireplace in one corner. From this room a hallway led into the mistress, bed chamber. It was here in this mansion that the De Grand family had lived for the last fifty years. The De Grands belonged to the F. F. V.,S, the First Families of Virginia.

HUEPPER, ,29. Haunteh 11:11:52 be said of another few. Mr. and Mrs. John De Grand and their only son had spent many happy years at the old estate, when the death of Mrs. De Grand fell heavily upon the happiness of the carefree son and his old father. A few weeks after the funeral, the two decided to re- pair to New York, to be withdrawn from the scene of their recent bereavement. The butler and his family had, up to this time, lived in small apartments in the rear of the house. Mr. De Grand, before departing, entrusted the mansion to the care of the butler, who was al- lowed to live in a rather elaborate style. Several new servants were engaged, and he and his family enjoyed all the privileges of aristocrats. The mansion was rather old, and the butler, With the consent of his master, decided to do some re- pairing. Among other things the living room 1nenti0ned.above was replastered and a gas burner was installed in the fireplace. After the butler had enjoyed this life for al- most two years, the young Mr. John De Grand, who in the meantime had married, decided to take up his residence at his old home, Oak Glen. A few monthst notice was given the butler to retire to his old apartments, to allow time for repairs on W33 3 3Q: Page Sixty-six f A V 9-3.3'20-3-3-3-3'3-3-33Cjw61 ERC aqe-cze-cz-cz-e-ae-a-e-ca-c the mansion. Finally the time came, and the doors again received the De Grands. The butler, in some conversation with his master about the new arrangements, dropped hints that things had occurred which would greatly disturb anyone; and i he added that he in particular no longer wished to remain in the house alone. The master, how- ever, thought the butler a little superstitious, and paid no attention to his words. One evening, about a month after their arrival, Master John and his wife and father were sitting in the living room. Dusk was slowly creeping upon the earth, and the only light in the room was that effused from the gas burner in the fireplace. The shades were closely drawn, to add to the coziness of the room. Suddenly a gentle hissing filled the room, and a. ghostly light appeared upon the wall right next to the door of the deceased Mrs. De Grandls bed chamber. The light slowly took on the form of a woman clothed in white, which greatly resembled the departed mistress. The form hovered a moment and then vanished as unannounced as it had come. The lights were quickly turned 011, and the terrified three discovered a very fine powder scattered over the carpet. The young Mrs. De Grand was so greatly perturbed that she deter- mined not to remain in the haunted house another night. The two gentlemen tried to persuade her to wait until an investigation had been made, but to no avail. The young Mr. John De Grand and his wife finally departed on a late train for New York. The master, however, tarried at his home, resolute that he would solve the mystery. When, after several weeks, the ghost made no further appearance, he joined his son in New York, and again left the house in charge of the butler. The De Grands made their residence at New York until the next summer, when the young Mr. De Grand suggested a trip to their country home, partly for pleasure and partly to investigate the unforgettable mystery. His wife emphatically refused to go again to the haunted house, but, when she was assured of the improbability of the ghosts reappearance, she consented. Nevertheless, they had spent only a few days at the mansion, when the ghost appeared in the same place and precisely in the same manner as it had before. Naturally, Mrs. De Grand was even more frightened than on the first appear ance, so she begged her husband to return im- mediately to New York with her. The father was not a little disquieted by the ghost, but he thought it peculiar that it should be so consistent in its wanderings that it never moved from the one place near the door. He wished now, more than ever, to solve the puzzle, and he tried to construct a clue from the matter he had. He invited Patrick Delaney, a detective from the scientific police department of New York, to the house one evening, to whom he had previously told the story of the ghost. It was rather late in the evening when the guest arrived, and he had not chatted long with his host when the ghastly scene was again enacted. When the apparition had vanished, the detective looked rather puzzled, but both he and his host retired with the question unsettled. The subject was not resumed until late the next afternoon. They examined the wall where the ghost had appeared, and discovered that the plaster was made up of very fine marble dust. With the aid of a powerful magnifying glass the detective found the marble dust to be slightly porous in the vicinity where the ghost appeared. At last they had arrived at a clue. It was already growing dark, and the two sat down to smoke over the success of a first clue. Delaney spoke first. Now that we have a clue, the only thing to do is to follow it up and find the cause of the affair, the instigator of the mischief, and I think that will be easy enough, mused the detective. Yes, said his host, Hbut the latter is far more incomprehensible than the first. HYes and no. Have you even no suspicions concerning the source of this trouble? HNo, none whatever. Well, I have, been watching your butler, and he appears to me to be a rather suspicious looking fellow. Couldn't you suspect him? itNo, sir! Emphatieally no. I would as soon suspect my own son. My butler has been in the family for over fifty years and has proven him- self to be most faithful. On that point, at least, I think you errf' 1.;4 While the old man spoke thus, the detective allowed his gaze to wander as he blew the smoke in clouds above his head. Accidentally he noticed a tiny hole in the ceiling, which appeared peculiar because the room had only recently been replas- tered. HWhat room is directly above us? he asked nonchalantly. ttWhy, an old deserted attic rarely fre- quented, his host replied in surprise. If you donit mind, I would like to investi- gate that attic, the detective said, as he arose and took note of the position of the hole in the ceiling. 3-33-33 595an I927Drw----- Page Sixty-seven K-MA esa-Eo-ga-a-za-Eo-zo-g-EQG 1 EQC E guesse-cE-cz-ezcwz-a'cz-et-c They both retired to the attic, much to the bewilderment of the host. After a brief search the detective found the hole, and, looking through it, saw the butler enter the room below and light the gas in the fireplace, as was his wont to do each evening. The detective and his host with- drew behind the curtains of an old four-post bed. As the detective expected, the butler entered the attic, and, sitting on an old chair, glanced at his watch frequently. HThere is no light, but I believe they must be below, he muttered to himself. He then raised a small trap door in the floor, which revealed a switchboard. The almost noise less click of an electric switch was heard. The butler then put his eye to the hole, and, neither seeing nor hearing anyone, turned the switch, re- placed the trap door and left the attic. The de- tective turned to Mr. De Grand, who was pale from the blow he had received at the hands of his faithless servant. HMy suspicions are gratified, but the satis- faction, I am sorry to say, has caused you a sudden blow, exclaimed the detective. ttYes, indeed; James has proved traitor, but I am willing to place the matter in your hands and see the end,H his host replied feebly, yet resolutely. The next day the detective resumed his con- versation, and in setting forth his views, said: HThe first step to take in our project is to have the plaster removed from the vicinity in which the ghost appeared. If my fears are justified, this done, the whole mystery will be open to us. With your permission, Mr. De Grand, I will commission two carpenters to remove the plaster. HAs you will, Mr. Delaney. Continue as you see fit, answered his host. HFine! Begin at once. I have noticed, on close examination with a powerful magnifying glass, that the plaster is made of fine marble dust. The glass also brought to prominence a slightly porous section in the plaster where the ghost consistently appeared. It is this fact, Mr. De Grand, that gave me my first clue. Ghosts, as I have known them, scarcely subject themselves to such a limited space. ttYes, that also seemed peculiar to me, but I tried in vain to construct a clue from it, mused the host. In the meantime the carpenters, with their wrecking bars, had completed the task of remov- ing the panel of plaster, and at this juncture, were awaiting the next command. This came presently from Mr. Delaney as he said, UPlace the panel on the carpet where it Will not be broken, and step back that Mr. De Grand may see. Here, as I had expected, we find a fun- nel-shaped tube whose opening is in the shape of a woman. To follow this up it will be necessary to remove the tube. While the carpenter was busy with his screw- driver, the detective continued, HIf this apparatus is as I suspect, we shall find a tube leading to the gas main, which, I have noticed, is in direct con- nection with the fireplace burner. The carpenter had 110w finished his task and, obeying orders, turned on the gas in the fireplace. While he was doing this, the detective examined the hole and found everything to be as he had ex- pected. He then had the entire burner removed from the fireplace. When this had been done, he turned to Mr. De Grand and beckoned him to come closer. Here, he said, is the little insignificant- looking apparatus which has haunted this old man. sion. It is one of the most recent inventions, and has been installed here as the means of sending forth a ghost. The gas tube, Which I have shown you, is connected with the burner in the fireplace, and works automatically with it. When the gas is turned on in the fireplace, it also passes through the tube, out of the funnel, and through the pores in the plaster. This little apparatus is equipped With electric wires which, 011 observance, you will find to be connected with the switch in the attic above us. The entire apparatus is known as a Cathode ray machine.H HVery well, commented his host, Hbut how do you explain the ghostts illumination, and the powder found on the carpet after its disappear- ance? HThat is most simple, and only needs an ex- planation of the Cathode my machine. When- the gas has passed through the route that I have ex- plained, and has already entered the room, the switch in the attic permits the electricity to func- tion in the apparatus which sheds a piercing, bluish light on the gas, thus illuminating it. The shape of the woman is explained by the fact that the opening 'in the tube is of that shape. During this process, the butler is at his post above, where we saw him last night. When he Wishes the ghost to disappear, he increases the voltage which changes the gas into a fine powder, and this falls to the floor, Where we found it.H ttNow, bemoaned the host, Nthat the method is clear, the blow of a traitor stings still more severely. Can you explain the unfortunate but- leris motive for such treachery?H Page Sixty-eight aWT-mmh 9 2 7 jw-Ec-e- W N y33.29-3-3-3-3-Ea-3.3-3QGI ERCE :m. vez-cz-cacz-cz-cz-eoz-caczlca-c ttThat, too, can I explain away. The butler, as he will admit to you presently, had become accustomed to the rich life, and was desirous of continuing it. When he suddenly heard that it must end, he fell prey to this method of retaining the mastership of Oak Glen. This explains the extensive repairing which he supervised. HIf what you say is so, it is a sorry day for my once faithful butler. It will be necessary that I discharge both him and his plotting son, not in a spirit of revenge, but as a just punishment for so base a faithlessness. uIt is here, said the detective, that you show your true justice; and, knowing you as I do, I realize that this blow of ingratitude burns deeply in your kind old heart. Your son and daughter will be informed of this? ttYes, indeed! A happy day it will be when John and Margaret return again to Oak Glen, no longer the haunted house. -MAUR.ICE MCNAMEE, I27. fan 59 :5: 3 agu Page Sixty-nine K AB N .

Miller Memorial Gymnasium took place this afternoon. At last the dream of the collegiate and theological departments had become true. It is a well built structure of Colonial and Romanesque style, with modern plans. It af- fords various forms of recreation, such as bas- ketball, indoor baseball, handball, bowling and billiards. We owe this magnificent structure to the liberal bequest 0f the late Ernest G. Miller of Milwaukee. On the particular occasion of the dedication, a program was rendered at which the introduc- tory address was delivered by our Rector, Mon- signor A. C. Brieg. Immediately following was the dedicatory address by Harry MeGabe, M. D. Then the Most Reverend S. G. Messmer favored us with an eloquent address.

THE SODALITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY. This society embraces the entire student body of the Seminary. This year it has been enveloped with sadness at the death of its beloved moderator. During the sixty-two years of its existence, forty- one passed under the capable guidance of Mon- signor Rainer. This great organization owes its every fruit to him. He has never failed to make the members of this congregation gain those spiritual fruits at which the organization has been aiming from its very beginning. When he re- signed as moderator of the Sodality, he expressed if -X- the wish that the Reverend Nicholas Maas, our spiritual director, accept the office. In accord- ance with his desire, Father Maas assumed di- rectorship on December the 8th, 1926. We wish to express our heartfelt congratula- tions to Father Maas, and hope that he will be a happy successor to Monsignor Rainer, Whom we earnestly believe enjoys the presence of Mary, our Mother, whom he taught every member of this society to love and venerate. 'X- THE ST. PHILIP NERI MISSION SOCIETY. The primary motive of this flourishing organi- zation is to instil into the hearts of its mem- bers a lively interest in home and foreign mis- sions, and thus support them with both spiritual and pecuniary means. The members take part in various activities, such as the shining of shoes, selling of Christmas seals and cards, washing of cars, and the pressing of clothes. The proceeds 9f it constitute the financial aid to the missions, While Holy Masses, Holy Communions, and other spir- itual exercises go for the spiritual aid of the mis- sions. Every student is a member. This thriving organization was established by the late Monsignor Rainer in 1912. At his death his noble work was taken up by Monsignor August C. Breig, the rector of our Seminary. Mr. Rayner Hausmann is the president of our society. i- THE THIRD ORDER OF ST. FRANCIS. This society comprises about two-thirds of the stu- dent body.

QAS THE years roll rapidly by, everyone must move forward; everyone must pass the success sive rungs in the ladder of life. In the element- ary schools these advancements come and go merely as a matter of course, for the student is too young to realize the value of those days spent in preparation for the future. The graduation from grammar school is the first thrill in a boyts life. It leads him to the expectation of greater things. In the high school the most important step is made after the senior year. It is then that the student makes a complete break with the past, and steps into a new era of his life. Many students have passed through the por- tals of our high school life for the last time. The majority of them, however, have not left us to battle our way alone. They have passed on to the Hother side, where we can watch them, as it were, through a telescope. We see their achieve- ments and try to exceed them; we see their mis- takes, and try to remedy them in our own lives. The achievements of our Alumni in this yeaNs work have been numerous and varied. Classes, s0- eieties, and sports have all yielded their shares to this collection of successes. By their untiring efforts the classes in gen- eral have attained splendid results in their class- work, the chief purpose of their life here at the Seminary. Fifth class, the freshmen of the Col- lege department, took their place at the opening of the year, and continued the excellent work for which they were noted while still in our midst. They found that, with zealous work and trust in God, they could succeed as well in their new course as they did in the High School department. The members of First Philosophy, starting their real course for the priesthood, have borne the task well. Now, at the close of the year, they are satisfied that they have acquired a good foun- dation in that all-important study, Philosophy. Second Theology comprises a set of students small in number, but zealous and ambitious. They upheld their reputation this year when practically the entire class received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. On the same day that they received this honor two deaeons and four priests received their Master of Arts degrees. From this we may see that the Alumni, even after leaving the Seminary, turn again to their Alma Mater to seek higher qualifications in their life work. In February most of the members of the Fourth course ended their days of study at St. Francis, when they were ordained to the Holy Priesthood. The three remaining deacons were ordained later in the scholastic year. Society work during the year, as far as we know, was most successful. The members of the High School were invited to the Columbus Day and Washington-Lincoln programs prepared by the St. Thomas Literary and Debating Society. Judging from these manifestations of their abili- ties, we can readily say that their undertakings, had a prosperous termination. After Easter, ttHamlet, one of Shakespearets best tragedies, was presented by the St. Thomas Society. Each player took his part excellently, and the play was a complete success. It was indeed one of the best ever presented at this Sem- inary. In sports competition ran high during the past year. The principal football games were played between the Classics and the higher classes, but the two games played in the Seminary department showed real spirit and football training. In the first game of the season Sixth class took a hard-fought battle from Fifth class by the slight margin of three points. The score was 6-3. First Philosophy then defeated Second Philosophy 7-0. Had the two winning teams; Sixth class and First Philosophy--p1ayed a game, we do not hesitate to say that it would have been one of the best games of the season. The new Ernest G. Miller Memorial Building, furnished with a gymnasium, bowling alleys, bil- liard tables and other recreational features, af- forded the students in the other departments plenty of exercise during the winter months. Basketball led the list of these sports. There were league games and class games in such num- bers that almost everyone had a chance to par- ticipate. The class games were particularly in- teresting. Fifth class had one of the strongest teams. They found little difficulty in beating Sixth class and broke even with the fast-stepping Third Theology five--winning one game and losing one.

Two classes, Second and First Philoso- phy, were at the top of the league from the start. At the end of the first round of eighteen games, Second Philosophy led, followed closely by Firs Philosophy. ' Billiard tournaments and hand ball occupied the spare time of those who did not care to take part in the major sports. Our Alumni indeed embraces a group of stu- dents active in every aspect of seminary life; they are worthy scholars as well as excellent sports- men. Looking back over the pages of seminary history, we see the footprints they have left to guide us on to the goal which they have already won; looking forward we eagerly yearn to be with them, to share their hardships, to partake in their ' joys, and at last with them to join the ranks of the eternal priesthood.

He thought that I slept, but I really did not, I think yould tZO the same, if you were a tot. Every step he made was closely watched by me. The first thing he did was to put up the tree. Then, out of a big bag, he brought some toys, And laid them down earefullq, lest he make noise. Oh, what a wonder! Is it true? What do I see? Drum, skates, coaster and to think, all this for me! A box of Cineo cigars he next pulled out, ll'hich must be for Uncle Max, who has the goat; The pretty pipe, and that package of Plow Boy, I suppose, must be meant for Cousin R01; A spread, with the hand embroidered laee in red, 13 a present to cover Aunt Bessiels bed. Next Santa nervously laid down a fur coat, Then took out a pencil, and wrote out a note. The note U read i0 said the coat was for ma; Alas, Santals whiskers fell off HELLO PAJ -JOSEPH SWIERCZYNSKI, Sem. H. S., l23. En the Night Orer the fields like a comforting angel, Clothing in darkness each plain and each hill, Soft comes the night, while the worldls busy clamor Pauses and listens, and then becomes still. Out of the shyethe eyes of our Malter, Brilliantly, soothihgly lighting our way- Twinkle the stars, with a bright piercing radiance, Shedding the light that will lead unto day. Oh night I weakness; thou hast covered om' sorrows and 1h thee are our hopes and our faith born anew; And how we are ready to take up the burden, And finish the work we were given to do.

The question, HWhat sort of a football team will we have this year? was on the tongue of everyone. The reason for any misgiving was the loss of two very efficient linemen. However, there were eight men who had been on last years squad, and with their aid, Mr. Courtney soon had a very promising team. In fact, this team excelled by far any developed here in the last three years. John Aspel was chosen captain. Their first game was played 011 Columbus Day against Fifth class. On this day, in spite of the steady full of rain, the team went out to the field eager to meet their opponents. They returned bringing with them a victory of 15 t0 6. The next game was played October 24 against Sixth class, the strongest team of the Collegiate department. In this game the Fates were against us, for in the last three minutes of play the op- posing right end blocked a kick, recovered the ball, and run sixty-five yards for a touchdown. The final score was 7 t0 3 in favor of Sixth class. On October 31 the Classics played Second Philosophy. The field being very muddy, the re- spective captains used only line plays and end runs. Neither side scored. The game we all looked forward to was the final game against Fifth class, which was played on Saturday, November 6. After a hard-fought battle the team added another victory to the list of triumphs which the Classics had gained in other years over the Collegiate department. This game was remarkable for its hard line driving, mixed with trick plays on the part of the Classics. The Alumni had a well developed aerial attack. The first touchdown was made toward the mid- dle of the first quarter, after Loeseh, our right tackle, recovered a fumbled punt on the Blues twenty-twoeyard line. From here the Classics ad- vanced the ball by three, two, and seven-yard gains to the opponents, eleven-yard line. Zauner, our right end, carried the ball on a wide run around left end, which netted ns six points. Aspel failed to kick goal. In the second quarter Fifth class started their pzitss-work. A pass from the fullback to their right end, and another to the left end, gave them fifty yards. Another short pass and they had made a touchdown. They failed to make the extra point. The Classics received the kickoff and returned it thirteen yards. On the second down the Blues intercepted a pass. With two short passes they gained first down on our nine- yard line. They succeeded in pushing the ball across the goal line in four more downs. They failed to gain the extra point. The whistle blew for the half, leaving the score 12 to 6 in favor of the Blues. The third quarter. The Classics came back resolved to get at least one more touchdown, and to stop that overhead attack. They got their touchdown, and, by following Mr. Conrtneyis nd- viee, broke up the opponentst passwork. The Classics kicked off. The Blues failed to make their yards and punted. Baier, right halfback, caught the punt. On the next down he kicked, and the ball rolled over the goal line. The Blues took the ball 011 their own twenty-yard line. They fumbled, and the Reds recovered. From here, by steady line drives, the Classics forced the ball over for a touchdown. This time Aspel did not miss the place kick. The quarter ended with the score 13 to 12. The last quarter was a steady battle, marked here and there by an occasional punt. The game ended with the ball on the Bluest thirty-eight-yard line. The final score was the same as at the end of the third quarter. 'X' -39 rx- I do not wish to leave the impression that St. Francis Seminary High School fosters only one football team, the pick of the school. No, this is not the case. We have a system of intra-mural sports which gives everyone a chance. Each class had its first team, which contended for suprem- acy, that is, high school championship. Besides these first teams each class had at least one inferior team. Page Ninety f x 9'33-2-20-3'3-3-3-3-3 3-5:ng T 1 If RC aae-cz-cz-E-cz- 555-561;: Thamkethall HEN the call for basketball candidates came, Cajnineteen men reported. After the first three practices, Mr, Courtney picked the ten men to represent the Classics in a league against the Col- legiate department. Francis Tenpenny was chosen captain. Their first game of the season was played against Fifth class, December 8, 1926, in the high school gymnasium. It resulted in a score of 18 to 14 in favor of the Classics. Their second game against the San Francisco Cardinals, January 9, resulted in :1 tie score. The reason for such :1 score was that it was time for study hour. In the next game, January 23, they beat Sixth class by the overwhelming score of 46 to 10. Then, February 2, the new Ernest Miller Me- morial Gymnasium for the Collegiate department was dedicated by His Grace, Archbishop Messmer. This put new life into the Classics, for they re- solved to go over there and beat them at their own game. Mr. Courtney, our prefect, left us, but Mr. Piotrowski stepped right into the former coach,s shoes. By February 13 we were able to make 38 points to First Philosophyts 15. We were obliged to play our next game in our own gymnasium against Second Philosophy. we won as usual, the score being 44 t0 6. Now we had one more game remaining, that against Fifth class. It was to be played the fol- lowing Sunday. For five nights Mr. Piotrowski had the team on the floor, drilling them in drib- bling, short passwork and especially, guarding. In these five nights he developed a superb five- man defense, such as had never been seen here before. 011 Saturday a light practice, mainly of free throws and side shots at the basket, was held. Sunday morning, in the new gymnasium of the Collegiate department, Fifth class met their ttWa- terloo. We again came away with the laurels. The final score was 25 to 20. This game gave us championship of the league. However, the Collegiate department was not satis- fied. They selected their best men, and asked whether we would give them a chance to beat us. We readily assented, and began to prepare. But then, Connors, our right guard, took sick, and Aspel, another guard, went to keep him company for nearly a week. This put the team tton the rocks. When these two worthies did come back for practice, they did not have much endurance. On the other hand, after a fortnightts prac- tice on their part, and, being under the guidance of Mr. Courtney, the former Classic coach, the Collegiate department was ready to meet any- thing we had to offer in the line of basketball. In spite of this handicap, we played them March 27, in their own gymnasium. We lost by a, score of 19 to 23. The Classics played 3. won- derful game, and also the Collegiates. The first quarter ended 6 t0 3, in favor of the Classics. We were leading at the half, 9 to 5.

But theme The College sent in two new men, and away they went. They gained six baskets the last quar- ter. All we could do was to make three free throws. Here we leave the Classic basketball team of 126 and ,27 with five victories, one tie, and one loss to their credit. 96 96 -X- As in football so in basketball, the Classic bas- ketball team was by no means the only one in the High School department. Each class had its sec- ond and third team. Mr. Piotrowski organized a league, picking two teams from Fourth class, one team out of Third, and one out of Second class. After nine games had been played by each team, one Fourth class team won the emblem. The Third class five took second prize. Last but not leasteMr. Carnachan held a free throw contest not long ago, in which the city record of twenty-eight points out of fifty trials was broken by several. The highest was Mr. Pane kratz, who tossed in thirtyesix out of fifty. After him came Mr. Schwemin, who made thirty-five; Mr. Zauner made thirty-three, and Mr. Kennedy made thirty-two. At the time of this writing nothing has been done concerning baseball. A snowfall on April 1 retarded the work on the diamond for over a week. However, the Classics look forward to a successful season. The prefect, Mr. Piotrowski, also expects to start track again this year. This will be the first field meet held here since 1922.

MILWAUKEE 108 I..-I...-ln-unlu-n-IIII-Illllllunn-d ADVERTISING SECTION-TIERCE lIIIlIIII-Illl' Select Your Printer reand Stick to Him HAVE spent nine years buying advertising printing. Naturally I have some ideas upon the subject, and they are pretty positive ideas. The chief of these is that you cannot buy printing by the yardstick. I have found that there is only one way to get good printing, and that is to find a good printer and trust him absolutely. When I have such a printer I never dream of asking for an estimate. When I suggest such a process to a business man he goes up in the air; but that is owing to his own lack of experience, and not the fallacy of the theory. Of course, it would be very easy for a printer to get the best of me once or twice on this plan, but if he expected to work for me right along, year after year, he would not sacrifice future orders to any immediate profit. In the first place, printing is expensive. Every time you pare down the price you knock out some essential quality to good printing. Good paper costs money. Good ink costs money. Intelligent typesetting costs money. Perfect press- work costs money. You can take any good job of printing and do it for from one-half to one-fourth the price, but you will not get the same job. The whole theory of getting estimates upon printing, if it is to be good printing, is wrong. You might just as well get an estimate on a piece of designing or upon a case of diphtheria. The only question to be answered is What printer can do the work? EARNEST ELMO CALKINS of CaIkins d' Holden, New York CRAPTSMEN PRESS, I nc.
